I suppose one could say that a stable political climate is, in deed, helpful for conducting a business. Then again, a lot of buildings tend to crumble and fall down in war torn areas. The rebuilding of which, you've guessed, requires a LOT of cement. So...

They made 70 million from the whole fiasco and lost 770 million in court settlements and forfeiture to france in other words they lost over ten fold what they earned during it and are still having to deal with U.S Courts about it, there PR is now tanked as there that one cement company that worked with really bad people, And Nadia Murad is slamming them with a class action on top. That is text book definition of a corporate dog piling on one company. But I get it it should have been way more given we are dealing with a company that owns billions people crap on equity in punishment but now when comments like this arrise now they know why I say it. Cause the poor are hurt way to much and the rich aren't hurt enough.

1:35 it might seem dumb at first glance but this is a tactic that companies often use, when you invest into a country that most other companies aren't investing in it means that if the country ever became stable you could easily dominate the market for a product, at the same time they don't need to pay nearly as high wages as outside the countries so it is in a lot of ways cheaper, it's a pretty scummy practice

Ummm…there’s already tons of competition for cement in Syria. They’re not even coming close to controlling the market there. Furthermore…cement made in Syria is not exported. It’s used in Syria. You HAVE to pay Syrian wages. It’s not like cement is made with low wages in Syria, and sent to Europe to cut out the labor cost. Not everything works like Nike. Weird assumptions. Nonsensical and totally unsubstantiated. You’ve got the rhetoric down though. “Big bad corporations” MUST be doing something bad, right? 🙄

I nailed a board in sideways because his idiot son specifically told me to, so the boss called me a Polish racial slur for Ukrainian and threw a hammer at me. Then he realized he goofed and let me have off for the rest of the day. Since I wasn’t there to kick the chucks, his illegal ass truck ran over his foot and he was so mad I got fired over text.

Guaranteed head office was pushing them to continue running with the bribery and funding of terrorists just being the cost of doing business. If the fine was significantly more than the money they made from the factory it might act as a deterrent to them doing it again. If not, the fines are also just the cost of doing business.

Sometimes, the top 1% of a country is a minority group like, for example, 2.4% of the American population is Jewish. Yes, they make up 40% of the billionaires.

I’m going to have to be that guy (seeing as I work with concrete every single day and am the laboratory manager in a construction materials testing laboratory). Huge difference between cement and concrete. Cement is a powder that you mix with rock, sand, and other ingredients like plasticizer and fibers to create a finished product called concrete. So when people say cement, they usually are talking about concrete. It is not a cement mixer. It’s a concrete mixer. The pavement outside is not cement. It’s concrete. Just trying to enlighten y’all a little bit on this beautiful Friday afternoon. Cheers!

Cement requires lime which is converted from limestone, releasing a ton of CO2 in the process. IIRC something like 22% of all CO2 emissions come from cement production.

Anyone in charge tries to give themselves a badge of authority, but the only thing the badge stands for is, once again, men with guns.

Back in the 90s Chiquita was exposed for some of they stuff they were doing in south and central America. My cousin worked for Chiquita in central America, he was in charge of a banana plantion. According to him, yeah, they payed protection money. You wouldn't want anything to happen to your crop on the way to the port, would you? And it would be terrible if your employees were unable to get to work, wouldn't it? Thats how it worked. Doing business in lawless places sometimes means doing lawless things.

Also, in many cases Lafarge has also been buying up local companies, keeping their business name so they "appear" local, but are extracting the resources and stealing nonrenewable resources from our local economy. Here they are shipping our resources from northwest Washington to British Columbia where they sell the materials for more than they can sell them for here.

As someone who works in cement, it's nice to hear someone say positive things about it and not "YoU'rE dEsTrOyInG tHe PlAnEt." And as a rival company to Holcim-Lafarge, it does not at all suprise me that they would do this. Although if you asked me who I would have guessed complied with a terrorist group, I would have guessed Cemex.

Side note, pretty much everyone who works in cement has at some point theorized how they would dispose of a dead body. That's what I thought this video was going to be about before I watched it. Why would we think that? Because it would be so easy to just put a body into the preheater tower. Also why did the plant in Syria have so many stages? You need a bunch in Kansas and missouri cause our stuff is wet and needs dried out more, but in syria it should already be dry. Probably designed by FLS. smh
